"Deputy Commander Chang, can you tell me about your project?"
After learning that this unit at the Batai Mountain Base was actually researching anti-tank missiles, Zhou Yang suddenly had strange thoughts in his heart.
Seeing that Zhou Yang seemed to be quite interested in the anti-tank missile project, Chang Jian was also very happy.
He had already heard how capable the young man in front of him was. If he could help, the task assigned by his superiors would be enough.
At that moment, he nodded and said, "Of course!"
Then, Chang Jian told Zhou Yang about the project they were studying.
After Chang Jian's narration, Zhou Yang finally knew the origin of their army and this base.
It turns out that in 1971, we obtained a small amount of Soviet-made Sagar missiles through special channels. This is a wire-guided anti-tank tactical missile. Its armor-breaking power was relatively advanced among the anti-tank missiles equipped by various countries at that time. of that category.
In view of the fact that we were facing the threat of the huge torrent of steel from our northern neighbors, and faced with opponents who were far stronger than our army in terms of quantity, quality, and mobility, vigorously developing anti-tank missiles became a life-threatening measure.
Therefore, in 1973, after research and decision by superiors, we concentrated the best troops and generals in the national defense industry to imitate the "Sagar" missile, so the Batai Mountain base and this force emerged.
This project has been going on for more than five years now. Most of the technical difficulties of the project have been overcome and it is in the critical stage of finalization.
According to the original plan, this missile will be finalized by the end of this year, and will be mass-produced and equipped with troops next year.
But just half a month ago, superiors suddenly issued an order requiring them to complete the finalization of the missile by September and complete all preparations for mass production by the end of the year.
In order to better complete the mission, the superiors also decided to relocate them from the remote mountain area of Mount Batai, and all the troops and scientific research teams were stationed in the new base in Lucheng.
Once they complete the finalization, the No. 1 machine factory in Lucheng will immediately go into production.
After learning this, Zhou Yang was slightly shocked.
Although the anti-tank missile developed by Chang Jian and others has not yet been finalized, nor has it been officially named.
But Zhou Yang knew that if nothing else happened, this missile was the famous "Red Arrow-73" anti-tank missile, and they were also the founders of the "Red Arrow" series.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Yang then said: "Deputy Commander Chang, I already understand the situation. I do have some research on missile guidance. I may be able to solve the problem you are encountering!"
"With your words, I feel relieved!" Chang Jian said with excitement.
"I'm just saying that it's possible, and specific issues need to be analyzed in detail!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
Zhou Yang didn't dare to talk so much about scientific research, otherwise he would be held accountable if he encountered problems that he couldn't solve.
However, Chang Jian laughed loudly and said: "Senior brother said that you are very humble. If you have to say that you have some understanding, then there is an 80% chance that this thing can be done. If you have to say that you have some confidence, then it is definitely no problem!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yang suddenly showed a helpless expression. Mr. Nie really knew him too well.
"Deputy Commander Chang, where is your research team? I want to see their research and development progress!" Zhou Yang said.
"Comrade Zhou Yang, it's so late, don't you need to take a rest?" Chang Jian said.
"No need, I'm not tired either!"
In fact, Zhou Yang felt quite tired after traveling for such a long time and encountering all kinds of unexpected things in the afternoon.
But thinking of the importance of anti-tank missiles, he ignored his physical fatigue.
The reason why Zhou Yang cares so much about this anti-tank missile is mainly because he takes into account the war situation in southern Xinjiang in the near future.
In this war, neither side sent out fighter planes to fight. The most advanced weapons we invested were tanks.
In this war, our country dispatched a total of thousands of tanks to participate in the battle. Among them, the largest investment was the Type 62 light tank, followed by the Type 62 water tank and the Type 62 heavy tank.
However, these three tanks were not considered advanced at the time, and the Type 62 tank's armor was not very strong. Once it encountered an enemy's anti-tank gun, it was almost impossible to survive.
Of course, compared with the situation of Nanhou, our army still has a relatively large advantage. At that time, the tanks used by Nanhou were Soviet-style T-34 tanks developed during World War II, and the number was not large.
Therefore, when fighting against our tanks, it barely has the slightest advantage.
Although the Nanhou's tank firepower is not strong, they do have a relatively advanced anti-tank weapon, which is the Soviet-made Sagar anti-tank missile.
This kind of missile is easy to carry, easy to control, powerful and has a long range. Not only that, the cost is also very low, so it is widely used on the battlefield by Nanhou.
They used this kind of anti-tank missile to fortify our army on the way forward, forcing our heavy armored troops to advance difficultly and losing a large number of tanks in the war.
According to incomplete statistics, during the entire war against Vietnam, the South Monkey Army launched a total of hundreds of Sagar anti-tank missiles at our army, and 817 of them were captured by our side alone.
Of course, our army's losses were all caused in the early stages of the war. After our army used this weapon on the battlefield in the second half of 1979, the situation quickly reversed.
Because he knew this, Zhou Yang had been thinking about developing an anti-tank weapon to suppress Nanhou's Sagar anti-tank missile.
But researching missiles is not that simple. Although Zhou Yang has been exposed to this stuff, his main research is missile guidance engineering, which can only be regarded as a sub-field of the entire missile.
Moreover, given the situation of Babaoliang Research Institute, it does not have the ability to develop missiles, so he has been thinking about how to solve this problem during this time.
Unexpectedly, someone gave him a pillow when he fell asleep. Zhou Yang would not miss this opportunity.
Later, under the leadership of Deputy Commander Chang, Zhou Yang followed him to the depths of the mountain, and then walked into a huge research room.
Although it is already past nine o'clock, the lights in the research room are still bright, and a large number of research institutes are busy.
Perhaps in order to rush for time, many people have lunch boxes on their desks. Some lunch boxes still have uneaten steamed buns in them, and some have water in them!
Everyone had their heads lowered, doing their own thing. Apart from the sound of turning pages of books, there was only the sound of calculating abacus in the room. The atmosphere was somewhat depressing!
After Deputy Commander Chang came in with Zhou Yang, he immediately called several key personnel over.
After briefly introducing Zhou Yang's identity, Chang Jian asked these technical backbones to list the problems encountered by the project one by one and asked Zhou Yang for help.
When these researchers at the Batai Mountain Base saw that Deputy Commander Chang paid so much attention to this young man, many of them sneered at this.
They say that if you have a hairless mouth, you will not be able to do things well!
The foreign player hired by his superiors is too young. Normally, at his age, he has just graduated from college. What experience does he have?
However, Zhou Yang's next operation shocked everyone.
After understanding the situation, he quickly identified several key problems and immediately proposed improvement measures. This speed shocked everyone's jaws!
And this was just the beginning. After helping them solve the outstanding problems in the anti-tank missile finalization process, Zhou Yang proposed an astonishing idea to Deputy Commander Chang and others, which once again shocked these people...
("Sagar" anti-tank missile)
(Sagar missiles on the battlefield)
(Red Arrow 73 anti-tank missile)
